Kyrgyzstan Asks China to Expedite Extradition of Citizens

Kyrgyzstan has formally requested China to accelerate the process of extraditing its citizens who are currently serving sentences within Chinese prisons. The appeal was made during recent interdepartmental consular consultations between the two nations, which took place in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan.

Officials from Kyrgyzstan urged their Chinese counterparts to provide further assistance and to expedite the consideration of applications related to the extradition of Kyrgyz nationals. This move signals Kyrgyzstan's desire to have its citizens return to serve their sentences in their home country.

The consultations aimed to strengthen bilateral cooperation on consular matters, particularly concerning the handling of legal cases involving citizens of both countries. The specific number of Kyrgyz citizens serving sentences in China and the details of the extradition requests were not immediately disclosed.
